3.1. Installing backstreet ruby kernel

Now its time to install the kernel.

The easiest way would be to pull some already available binary kernel, there are packages for some distributions (? currently only MDK-9.1 ?) or a source package & rebuild it on your system.

If for some reason you can not use them, or have problems using them you can also build your own kernel with the bruby patch, for more information how to do this visit the backstreet ruby page on building and installing the kernel:http://startx.times.lv> (or some of the mirrors) Documentation -> Quick Kernel

(if you are new to linux reading "The Linux Kernel HOWTO" http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html could be very heplfull)

for now there is only one binary kernel package for Mandrake-9.1

you can get it from http://varna.demon.co.uk/~svetlio/ruby-contrib/kernel.html
